#124: Invest in Yourself to Become More Marketable with Stan Besko

What’s the one thing the top performers in finance avoid that helps them make a meaningful impact? Given Finance are typically the keepers of the keys to the financial health of an organisation it’s no wonder then that when the business needs information to be successful they reach out to their finance teams. However this can lead to finance professionals having a very reactive mindset which is what the top performers avoid. Instead they are proactively investing to further themselves and their stakeholders and this is just one of the topics this week’s guest mentor Stan Besko and I discuss, as well as covering: • We deconstruct Stan’s “Invest In Yourself” and the simple step we as individuals and leaders can take. • Why organisations perhaps invest less in the development of their finance staff than say other departments or executives. • Great practical advice on how to become a catalyst for change and the trap of falling back on the status quo.
